In the sixth episode of Degrassi: Next Class’ fourth season, which launched on Netflix Friday, Yael (Jamie Bloch) comes out as gender non-binary after an argument about… farts.
Yael coming out as genderqueer is something to celebrate, but we’ve still got a long way to go.
But after coming this far, Yael refuses to hide who they are any longer, even if that means losing Hunter.
Throughout the season, viewers saw Yael struggle with their gender identity, including their decision to start binding their breasts.
